Mastercard Inc · 2026-07-30 · Importance 50 · Surprise 42 · In source text
Mastercard expects Q3 2026 other expense of approximately $125 million. The sequential increase is driven primarily by incremental interest expense from the bond issuance completed in June. Gains and losses on equity investments are excluded from the company’s non-GAAP metrics and from this Q3 other-expense expectation. The higher interest burden is therefore expected to reduce Q3 reported profitability relative to the prior quarter.
Key facts
- Mastercard expects on other income and expense in Q3 2026 an expense of approximately $125 million, higher sequentially and driven primarily by incremental interest expense related to a bond issuance in June.
- Ling Hai is the incoming CFO and will lead the next earnings call with Michael Miebach.
